David Tennant plays the Virgin Mary in radio act

London: Scottish actor David Tennant has landed an unusual role by playing the Virgin Mary in an alternative nativity pantomime for Absolute Radio.

The 41-year-old former ‘Doctor Who’ star took to the stage in a black wig and a flowing white gown alongside DJ Christian O`Connell, who played Joseph, and former soccer star Ian Wright, who played a bizarre dinosaur midwife, reported Daily Star online. Singer Newton Faulkner provided the music for the unusual ensemble while the Three Wise Men were played by a trio of Tennant`s fans who won a competition to co-star with him. The nativity pantomime aired live on Absolute Radio and a video of the show, entitled `Dude, Where`s My Donkey?`, can be viewed on the station`s website. PTI Beatles, Mick Jagger on 10 pound note?
